Spacek Labs combines conventional waveguide technology with planar circuit techniques producing full waveguide bandwidth detectors using zero bias GaAs beam lead diodes. The resulting detector is extremely rugged and compact. By replacing the zero bias detector diode with a GaAs beam lead mixer diode; these devices can be used as harmonic mixers to extend frequency counters to 110 GHz.

Santa Barbara, CA – January, 2015– Spacek Labs model T12-W is the E-Band adapter in our series of waveguide to coaxial transitions or adapters. The T12-W covers the entire E-Band spectrum from 60 to 90 GHz with a typical insertion loss of 1.5 dB.This transition can be used to adapt your system from the WR-12 (UG387/U) waveguide to the 1mm coax or vice versa, from coax to waveguide.

Santa Barbara, CA – January 25th, 2015– Spacek Labs model MV-1B is a wide-band biased mixer with full V-Band coverage in the RF and LO ports. The RF and LO ports span 50 to 75 GHz in WR-15. The local oscillator power is reduced to only 0 to +5 dBm by applying a DC bias. The IF port covers 10 MHz to 3 GHz and is supplied with a DC block on the SMA (f) connector. Conversion loss is 6 dB typ. and 9 dB max. Lower conversion loss is available on units with reduced bandwidths. The input 1dB compression point is 7 dB below the LO input power. The DC bias requirement is +12 Volts @ 10 mA.

Santa Barbara, CA – January, 2015– Spacek Labs model MW-1B-6X is a full-band, biased mixer with a 6X LO frequency multiplier. The RF and multiplied LO ports span from75 to 110 GHz in WR-10 waveguide. Due to the full W-Band active multiplier on the LO port of the mixer, the LO input frequency ranges from 12.5 to 18.33 GHz at +13 to +18 dBm. The IF port (SMA-f) covers 10 MHz to 3 GHz and is supplied with a DC block. Conversion loss is 7 dB typ. and 12 dB max. Lower conversion loss is available on units with reduced bandwidths. The input 1dB compression point is -5 dBm (typ).

E-band mixer covering the two radio bands of 71 to 76 GHz and 81 to 86 GHz.

The mixer includes an integrated LO doubler, so that the customer need only supply a

39 GHz source with +16 dBm of power. Spacek Labs can also supply a phase-locked source with the assembly. The conversion loss over the band is 6 dB typ and 9 dB max, with an IF frequency range of 2 to 8 GHz. The input P1dB is -6 dBm typ, and the bias is +12 VDC at 10 mA. The RF ports is WR-12 waveguide, LO input port is 2.92mm coax connector and the IF port connector is SMA (f).

HPF-700 Waveguide High Pass Filter

Santa Barbara, CA – February 12, 2014

Spacek Labs model HPF-700 is a waveguide high pass filter in WR-12 waveguide. This filter series is designed with a sharp cut off close to the passband. This filter will pass all of E-Band down to 71 GHz with an insertion loss of 1.5 dB typ and 2 dB max. The reject band is </= 68 GHz, with 20 dB rejection at 68 GHz and 40 dB at </=67 GHz. Spacek Labs offers this HPF series of filters up to 110 GHz. They can be customized to suit any application or form factor.
